解决方案1:

楼主:你好,我将全部标点的用法整理如下,互相切磋!

标点符号

一、所有格符号(')

所有格符号与s连用表示所有格,例如:

the dog's bone 狗的骨头

the princess's smile 公主的微笑

King Charles's crown 或King Charles' crown查理王的王冠

all the students' books 所有学生的书

the men's jackets 男人的夹克(不规则的复数)

所有格符号用于缩略形式表示字母或数字的省略,例如:

I'm (= I am)

he's (=he is/has)

they'd (=they had/would)

the summer of '68 (=1968) 1968年夏季

所有格符号有时与 's'连用构成字母、数字或省略语的复数,例如:

during the 1960's在二十世纪六十年代

all the MP's所有国会议员

pronounce the r's more clearly把'r'的音发得更清楚些。

二、冒号(:)

冒号用在表示一组或一类的词或连接短语(如as follows, in the following manner)之后,以介绍一系列项目,例如:

His library consists of two books:the Bible and Shakespeare.

他的藏书有两部:《圣经》和莎士比亚的著作。

Proceed as follows: switch on the computer, insert a disk and press any key.

按如下步骤操作:打开计算机开关,插入软盘,然后按任意键。

正式用语中,冒号用在说明或解释主句的从句或短语之前,例如:

The garden had been neglected for a long time: it was overgrown and full of week.

花园长期无人照料:里面植物蔓生而且长了杂草。

Note:

分号或句号可代替冒号使用,但逗号不行。

三、逗号(,)

逗号用来分开一系列的词、短语或从句,例如:

If you keep calm, take your time, concentrate and think ahead, you'll pass your driving test.

如果你保持镇定,不着急,集中精力注意前面,你就会通过驾驶测验。

逗号一般不在and之前使用,例如:

a bouquet of red, pink, yellow and white roses.

逗号经常用于状语从句或很长的短语与主句之间,例如:

When the sun is shining and the birds are singing, the world seems a happier place.

当阳光照耀鸟儿在歌唱的时候,这个世界似乎是一个更快乐的地方。

In the gales this autumn, many trees were blown down.

今年秋天刮了一场又一场大风,许多树被风刮倒了。

逗号用于句首的非限定性动词的从句或没有动词的从句之后,例如:

为了准时到达那里,她提早了一小时离开。

Worn out by their experiences, the children soon fell asleep.

孩子们在经历这一切之后极度疲劳,很快就睡着了。

逗号用来将一引导性的或转变语气的词或短语(如therefore, however, by the day, for instance, on the contrary)与句子的其余部分隔开,例如:

Oh, so that's where it was!

哦,它原来就在那里!

As it happens, however, I never saw her again.

逗号用于插在句中的从句之前,例如:

虽然一直烧了好几个小时,但火势仍很凶猛。

你应该,说实在的你必须,把这件事向警方报告。

逗号用在进一步说明其前面的名词的非限定性定语从句或同位短语前后,例如:

Note:

限定其前面的名词的定语从句前后均不用逗号,例如:

把兰开夏郡与约克夏郡分开的山脉叫宾南山脉。

逗号有时用来分隔由一连词(如and, as, but, for, or)连结的(尤其长的)并列从句, 例如:

一年来他一直在盼望着利用假日去野营,但不幸的是每天都下雨。
